DEFENSIVE: Harrison Phillips, Sr., DL, Stanford (Omaha, Neb.)
• Phillips finished with a game-high 10 tackles (five solo), 2.5 TFL, 0.5 sack, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble that led to the game-winning touchdown with 20 seconds left.
• Oregon State was running out the clock with under three minutes to go, but Phillips forced the fumble and recovered it at the OSU 40-yard line with 2:30 remaining. Stanford then scored the game-winner in a 15-14 road victory.
• Also, with less than a minute left in the first half, Phillips recovered a fumble at the Oregon State 18-yard line that led to a field goal in the eventual one-point win.
• Phillips helped the Cardinal defense hold the hosts to just 3.4 yards per rush, 126 passing yards and 264 total yards.
